“If Anyone Wants To Be First,
He Shall Be Last Of All And Servant Of All.”
Taking a child, He set him before them, and
taking him in His arms, He said to them, “Whoever receives one
child like this in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me does not
receive Me, but Him who sent Me.”

From: GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper, that He may be
with you forever. [John 14:16]
Subject: MY WORD; John 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full
of grace and truth.
Acts 16:13–35 (ESV) 13 And on the Sabbath
day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a
place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together. 14
One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller
of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to pay
attention to what was said by Paul. 15 And after she was baptized,
and her household as well, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be
faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.” And she prevailed upon us. 16
As we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a
spirit of divination and brought her owners much gain by fortune-telling. 17
She followed Paul and us, crying out,
“These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of
salvation.” 18 And this she kept doing for many days. Paul,
having become greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in
the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And it came out that very hour. 19
But when her owners saw that their hope of gain was gone, they seized Paul and
Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers. 20 And
when they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men are Jews,
and they are disturbing our city. 21 They advocate customs that are
not lawful for us as Romans to accept or practice.” 22 The crowd
joined in attacking them, and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave
orders to beat them with rods. 23 And when they had inflicted many
blows upon them, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them
safely. 24 Having received this order, he put them into the inner
prison and fastened their feet in the stocks. 25 About midnight Paul
and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were
listening to them, 26 and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so
that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors
were opened, and everyone’s bonds were unfastened. 27 When the
jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was
about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. 28 But
Paul cried with a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.” 29
And the jailer called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell
down before Paul and Silas. 30 Then
he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31
And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your
household.” 32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all
who were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the
night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his
family. 34 Then he brought them up into his house and set food
before them. And he rejoiced along with his entire household that he had
believed in God. 35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the
police, saying, “Let those men go.”
Mark 9:30–37 (NASB95) 30 From there they
went out and began to go through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to
know about it. 31 For He was teaching His disciples and
telling them, “The Son of Man is to be delivered into the hands of men, and
they will kill Him; and when He has been killed, He will rise three days
later.” 32 But they did not understand this statement, and
they were afraid to ask Him. 33 They came to Capernaum; and when He
was in the house, He began to question them, “What were you discussing
on the way?” 34 But they kept silent, for on the way they had
discussed with one another which of them was the greatest. 35
Sitting down, He called the twelve and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of
all.” 36 Taking a child, He set him before them, and taking him in
His arms, He said to them, 37 “Whoever receives one child like this
in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me does not receive Me, but Him
who sent Me.”
Colossians 2:1–15 (NKJV) 1 For I want you to
know what a great conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and for
as many as have not seen my face in the flesh, 2 that their hearts
may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all
riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery
of God, both of the Father and of Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all
the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 Now this I say lest anyone
should deceive you with persuasive words. 5 For though I am absent
in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good
order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ. 6 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus
the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him and
established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with
thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and
empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic
principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in
Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 10 and you are
complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. 11 In
Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by
putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12
buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him
through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. 13
And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He
has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14
having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was
contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the
cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a
public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
[Please Note: Always Read the
Word of God in Context, reading the entire chapter or book, asking the Holy
Spirit of the Living God to give you the interpretation. 2 Peter 1:16–21 (Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
Philippians 2:9–11 (The Living
Bible) 9 Yet it was because of this that God raised
him up to the heights of heaven and gave him a name which is above every other
name, 10 that at the name of
Jesus every knee shall bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11
and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God
the Father.
